Stigmatized!
Step closer if you please...!
My bodt bares witness, can't you see
You can't deny your own eyes
This must be real... stigmatized!

So you speak to me about proof
But where once was skin now are wounds!
A sceptic life you should realize
This blood doesn't lie... stigmatized!

Why have I been chosen to be manifestation of God?

I cannot take this anymore...?
Not by far believed, only scorned
Please, God, make this go away... or take me home
Why have I been chosen to be manifestation of God?
I never asked for this... god... set me free

3. Draw Blood (3:19)

Unveil the veins that hold the blood
The victim is strapped, the demon is scared
Quotations are voiced – the holy script
Seld in it's grip, the victim tosses and turns
Phrases are praised as the candles are burned

Time running short there's a life here at state
Must hurry fast as the night now awaits...

Draw the blood – that sickens the mind
Draw the blood – let the evil run dry
Suck out the blood – that darkens the soul
Draw the blood – and pray for us all

Prfanity reeks – condemnity god and us all
Deitys clash – flames rise and fall
A legion of names are called out from the book...
Yet the night is so black, that darkness cooks...
The darkness cooks...

Seld in it's grip, the victim tosses and turns
Phrases are praised as the candles are burned
Time running short there's a life here at stake
Must hurry fast as the night now awaits!

Draw the blood – that sickens the mind
Draw the blood – let the evil run dry
Suck out the blood – that darkens the soul
Draw the blood – and pray for us all

Draw the blood
Draw the blood
Suck out the blood
Draw the blood

4. The Ritual (4:03)

Silence – there is a ritual to be done
Midnight – a casket comes from underground
Sowling – moon shines cold up, above
Stay out – stay clear of the graves
Why are you here?
You know the punishment
...the ritual has begun

Stand back – or know the consequence
These sights are not yours to see
They aren't yours to know...

Rise from your bed!
Live, though still dead!
Loose are the powers that lied in the grave
Openlid caskets are freed from their slaves
Bodies now moving, back from the dead
Pray for the living, who are delievered instead

Why did you come&
You know the punishment
...the ritual has been done

5. Ashes (4:18)

There's no meaning with life as it is...
There's no meaning, there's no meaning
There's no such thing as a life after this
No such thing as a life after this
Float into oblivion

Born – burn – die
Ashes to ashes and dust to death
Fade away – burn away
Ashes to ashes and dust to death
Pass away – your soul astray

Your hollow words and selfrighteous grin
You're the cancer of this world we're living in
Puss and disease surround your every move...
Your every word... your every word
Dehumanize, manipulate, infiltrate, disintegrate

Ashes to ashes and dust to death
Fade away – burn away
Ashes to ashes and dust to death
Pass away – your soul astray

6. Plague Rider (3:56)

Swarming cross the nations, he reeks of death
Of suffering and of pain
The unerpected visitor, the unfortold
The uninvited guest

A swarming lethal mass, sickening and...

Indifferent to his rampage
He feels no guilt – he feels no shame at all
He's struck down civilizations
But millions are yet to fall

A stench of putrid flesh, a dealer of death

Alone he spreads the seeds
...of vile and foul disease
Bathe the world in plague

A trail of dead – in his way
A path of death – there's no escape
A companion of man – a timeless faith
A festering evil – we all shall face

Burning, melting, freezing, dying...

Alone he spreads the seeds
...of vile and foul disease
Bathe the world in plague

The seeds alone be spreads
Disease of vile and foul
But in plague the world shall fall
Plaguerider
Plaguerider
Plaguerider
Plaguerider

7. Damned in Hell (3:56)

Burn, you're burning in hell covered with sulhpur you gey to the gas
Fired to a cross with a million nails, grinding the slave – slave to the grind
Thill – enjoy
Yes, it's true
You might as well make the best of your fate
Damned in hell
Damned in hell

Sold, you sold your own soul
You claimed out the price was too high
Seemingly peaceful, resting in your grave
Regret your deal, as the skin melts away

Burning embers of human flesh
Open caskets form an endless mesh
Gigantc furnace of divine design
A bottomless gorge swallows all in line
Damned souls burning chasm demons laugh working fast
Line is long much to do...
Wait your turn they're coming for you
Damned in hell
Damned in hell
Damned in hell

8. Crossfixation (4:09)

Golgata lies silent
And the sand has drunk the blood
Black is the wind which make the crosses away
They puncture hallow ground
Life stabwounds to the skin
Crossfixation
Crossfixation

Human ornamentation, a ghastly vaudeville
Had to entertain the masses
Had to keep them in fear
Crosses lean on these barren hills
Daily tribunals daily fills
Crossfixation
Crossfixation
Crossfixation

Last of days sands of time running fast
Drag my cross thru the mob
Whipped and chained...
Dying young, dying young... dying young!

Bloody and sweat – blinds my eyes – no one weeps, no one cares
Count my steps up the hill – drag my cross... drag my cross
Nails are driven deep thru the limbs
I'm hung to die, left in the sun to dry!
Crossfixation
Crossfixation

Angels have fall from the sky
Awaiting the antichrist
Heaven shall burn
God will fall
Angels are bleeding
Bleeding and screaming in fear

11. Styx (4:54)

Jagged shore face a violent tide
Total serenity cross the surface lies
The distance may not seem that far
But the gap spans a lifetime no less no more

Welcome to your parting
I'll fate you safely across
That boy can wait
There's only room for one
See the absence of my shadow
Yet you know my name
I'm not the one you should fear
To me you're all the same

Darf water stretch a few inches deep
Yet fathomless darkness lays
Right under the feel
It's the end of the journey
But across you must go so shut up
Sit down and don't rock the boat

It's the eve of your lifetime
You know ones fate must end
Eternity lies before you
So now it's time to repent
See the absence of my shadow
Yet you know my name
I'm not the one you should fear
To me you're all the same

Meet the styx
Not evil, not good
Just a step on the way
You're a step on the way...

Jagged shore face a violent tide
Total serenity cross the surface lies
The distance may not seem that far
But the gap spans a lifetime no less no more

Welcome to your parting
I'll fate you safely across
That boy can wait
There's only room for one
See the absence of my shadow
Yet you know my name
I'm not the one you should fear
To me you're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same

12. War Piece (2:22)

13. Cannonfodder (2:40)

Feed the gun
Feed the guns

Marching for my country
Marching off to die
Fight for king and glory
Fight to stay alive
Starom another stronghold
Kill another man
Rush to filed before us
With steady sword at hand
...with steady sword at hand!

The dead now count in legions
But more will surely die
Sent into the action
With no thought of human lifes
Casaulties are mounting
From the guns upon the hill
God, they need be silenced
Charge them now we will
...charge them now we will!

Feed the gun
Feed the guns

Meatgrinding projectiles
Blowing through our ranks
Shrapnelridden soldiers down
Bits and pieces all around
Rip the silence – canons brawl
Bloodsoaked troops still dashing on
Shellshocked victims fall behind
Keep formation on maintain the line

A thousand gun barrage
Drifts of men lie dead
Craters fill the landside
Juggernauts of death
